RealPlay Golf review

It's golf, but not as we know it

Pros

Motion sensing peripheral

Challenging courses

Nice sensitivity when putting

Cons

Swing sensitivity way off

Doesn't feel like real golf

Actually a step backwards in tech

Jan 8, 2008

In2Game%26rsquo;s first peripheral/golf game bundle Real World Golf was justly praised for its responsive peripheral (the glove-based Gametrak) and acting somewhat as a teaching tool for the real thing. And yet, two years later, here%26rsquo;s RealPlay Golf, fundamentally the same game as Real World Golf, only now with a less intuitive, less sensitive peripheral. It%26rsquo;s a massive step backwards.

The courses themselves are well planned and present some dastardly challenges; it%26rsquo;s just a shame you have to use the peripheral to traverse them. Its unbalanced response to the force of your swing is infuriating- though the club does become slightly more sensitive on low-impact shots, particularly putting. Still, the feel of the club is so far removed from the real thing that anyone hoping to improve their swing will be exactly that- left hoping.
